Custom Feature: Engrave

Link to Engrave
I like to label all of the machined parts I possibly can with their part numbers and revisions so my coworkers can easily find them in CAD without knowing their location in a folder. Yesterday I released the Hershey Text function and this engraving feature is meant to pair with that in my almost finished Label Feature. This custom feature simply takes a sketched line and removes the material under it as a v-groove, straight, or ball nose end mill would.
You can also use it to engrave cool patterns if labeling isn't your thing. I hope this improves some workflows!
